Spotify is updating its app to address a long-standing user complaint about music playback, but customers will have to pay for the update.
The company announced today that it will finally include a separate Play Button and a Shuffle Button at the top of album playlists to make it easier to listen to music the way you want. This will replace the previous combined button, which was inconsistent across platforms and frustrating to use. Streamers may be disappointed, however, to learn that what should be an app update to improve usability is being sold to them as a reason to upgrade to Spotify’s paid tier, the company says the new button is only available to Spotify Premium subscribers.
